Conor McGregor labelled sister Aoife a 'style queen mad thing' as he lavished praise on her for her birthday.
The Crumlin fighter shared a photo of them in an exotic coastal location alongside the kind words.
He wrote: "Happy birthday my sister @aoife.mcgregor, style queen mad thing. I love you so much to the moon and back, forever and always the world is yours my blood."
While Conor is as active on social media as ever, there's very little word coming from him or his camp on when fans might be able to expect him back in the octagon.
Although he has recently returned to full MMA training, it has been widely reported that he will require months of preparation time to get himself fully right for all that the body has to endure to succeed in a UFC bout.
The likes of Ariel Helwani have said that a comeback fight probably won't happen until 2023.
And reading between the tea leaves, that prolonged timeline seems more and more realistic based off lightweight star Michael Chandler's comments this week.
Just days previously he had again called out McGregor to face him in the 'biggest fight in MMA' only to backtrack on that notion based on not wanting to 'wait' for the Dubliner to complete such an extensive rehabilitation process from his broken leg.
The American most recently said: "I've called him out in a respectful manner. Conor, when you're ready to come back, whenever you are ready, whenever the leg is 100 per cent healed because the UFC as a promotion is better with Conor in it.
"We need to see a healthy Conor inside the octagon so he doesn't need to rush back. We'll see when he comes back, so I'm not waiting."
The former Bellator champ is now eyeing up a scrap with McGregor's nemesis (or one of them) in Dustin Poirier.
The compatriots had a run-in cageside at UFC 276 earlier this month.
Detailing that spat, Chandler coolly stated: "I walked down there and all of a sudden I heard some chirping, some very vile venom being spat in my direction that I didn't know if it was being thrown at me or not.
"I looked over and Dustin Poirier was pointing at me so he obviously had a bone to pick with me that night."
Poirier could be heard calling Chandler "a fake motherf***er” in the heated exchange whilst telling his rival “I’ll f*** you up.” Chandler has told Poirier that confronting him at a public event is the wrong way to go about seeking a fight, insisting that the run-in has not cost him any sleep and Poirier's anger will only work against him if they meet in the cage.
"If you think that's the way you're going to get a fight with me, that's the absolute opposite way," he added. "I'm not here to get into physical altercations in a public form. It's not going to make it that much easier to knock him out whenever he oversteps if him and I do step inside of the octagon, but I have not lost one minute of sleeping thinking about Dustin Poirier."
